Thanks FrankoQ. I have installed LeoVince exhausts and just realized that need to have an aftermarket air-filter.

Please don't laugh me off the board, but I completed my first oil change last week without taking it to the dealer - the project this week is a new air filter. I have the service manual and even with this thread I am still stumped. I have the tank up, the four screws removed, but I cannot, for the l I've of me, figure out how to get the air filter cover off. Anyone have a good tip or pics - there has to be some kind of secret that I'm missing....... Thanks for helping a non-mechanically inclined guy try to do a little of his own maintenance.

I have not changed mine, I only have 7500 mi on my bike, but it should just be loosening the phillips screws around the perimeter of the air box.

Look again.
Remove the rest of the screws and it will lift off.
I think there is a total of 7 screws, 3 of which are not as easy to get to.
Kind of toward the rear of the filter housing.

Addendum: The pictures in the first post show the screw locations.

Correct, 7 screws, full perimeter.
